When I was a boy, my dad used to tell me that when he wasn’t around the house, I had to “be the man.” That sounded really important, so I loved it when he spoke those words. But things never really changed, I didn’t get to boss my Mom around. I didn’t get to make the rules. What my dad was really saying was, “Behave for your mother and watch out for your siblings.” The truth is that manhood is a lot more than just bossing somebody around. The world espoused some odd definitions of manhood like, “men get in touch with their sensitive side,” and “real men don’t eat quiche.” Hopefully, neither of these statements declare your manhood. So what do I mean by “Man Up?”
